 A member of the Spanish Nuclear Safety Council holds a Geiger counter at Torrejon airbase, outside Madrid, March 21, 2011, before a government-chartered plane carrying 154 passengers from Japan landed. Passengers on the flight can choose to use the counter to check for traces of nuclear radiation. Global anxiety rose over radiation from a nuclear plant in Fukushima that was damaged after Japan was struck by an earthquake and tsunami on March 11, even as engineers had some success in the battle to avert disaster from the world's worst atomic crisis since Chernobyl.[Photo/Agencies] |
